“People are dragging me that I am promoting BBL despite the fact that a lady just lost her life to it. Yes, BBL is risky, but which surgery isn’t? People die from fibroid surgery, C-section, and even headaches,” she said.

However, she maintained that while the procedure carries risks, individuals who decide to undergo it must ensure they are properly informed and seek professional medical care.
“Just make sure you are well-informed about the surgery you want. Use a good hospital and a good doctor. Make sure you don’t allow infection to enter your wound and take your aftercare seriously.”
